Capricorn - The Goat

December 23rd to January
21st

The mountain goat is always climbing higher
and higher toward the summit. He is sure-footed and never falls, and knows
where he is going. Other animals cannot catch him because he simply climbs
higher and looks out over the world from a safe and secure place on the
mountain top. Astrologers think that the mountain goat is a good symbol
for those born under the sign of Capricorn because
they are the type of people who have a goal towards which they will work
hard and long. Capricorn people usually have plenty of self-discipline
and are successful in what they do.

The most important thing to a Capricorn is
achievement. He will tend to take life seriously, and it is important
for him to be good at something. He needs to feel that he has a skill,
something he can do better than anyone else. Capricorn people are hard
workers and many of them make excellent teachers, lawyers and statesmen.
They are also quiet and diplomatic and know how to be subtle and tactful
in their dealings with others. It may take a long time for you to get
to know a Capricorn person, because he is often serious and shy by nature.

Capricorn is an earth sign, like Virgo and
Taurus. If you are a Capricorn you will probably find that as you grow
older it will be more and more important for you to achieve success in
something and earn recognition for your abilities. Work is very important
to you. Family life is equally important, and you may have a love of history
and tradition. Your special and unique gift is your inner determination
to succeed at what you want in life, and that means you probably will.
